How to Disable Copy Paste “Protection” on Websites Forms

This is a quick tip which I found useful so I mostly documenting it here for my personal use (and in case some else will find it useful).

The Easy Way – Use Firefox

In Firefox you can bypass this problem with simple
about:config setting, just set
dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to
false and that’s it, no restart, and it works on any site — One more reason to use Firefox 😛 .

The Developer Way – Using the Browser Developers Tool

Right click on the input box with the “protection” and select to inspect the item, this will open the developers console, there you can find the attribute
onpaste which probably calls to function or just
returnfalse , change it to
returntrue and the should do it.
